 NEW 2012 BX ORDER FORM

!!  NEW LOWER PRICES  !!

Click on the above order form to go to the Merchandise page.  The new 2012 VDHA BX Merchandise order form that you can fill out on-line, is even easier to use than ever.

I simplified the form, added helpful hints to fill it out, and lowered most of the prices on BX items.  I continue to improve on this concept so even though you may not see any major physical changes to the form, I strive to make it easier to use, and keep it up to date to reflect actual merchandise on hand.

The BX now offers a NEW item, a fantastic zippered portfolio that was requested by many attendants at the 2011 VDHA Reunion. 

The VDHA Merchandise page instructions have been modified to reflect these changes so be sure to read the new information very carefully.

 *************************

The VDHA was organized in 1993 by a group of six veteran war dog handlers that served during the Vietnam Conflict. One of their original goals was to search for and re-unite veteran war dog handlers and honor the memory of their war dog partners.

As a result, the VDHA has grown from six members to approximately 2000 members. Our membership consists of veteran war dog handlers and dog loving supporters of all ages and gender.

Many members have been featured in the print and film media, and during many of our nation's annually scheduled patriotic events. A significant achievement is the highly acclaimed TV documentary, "War Dogs, America's Forgotten Heroes."  We welcome the informational contributions of all dog handlers from all eras.

The VDHA was founded with three core objectives in mind:
• Educate the public of the accomplishments of dog handlers in the United States Armed Forces during the Vietnam Conflict and the dogs that served with them.
• Provide opportunities for the research and preparation of a detailed history of the use of dogs in the Vietnam Conflict.
• Locate and provide fellowship among dog handlers of all US Armed Services.

The VDHA continues to be a part of war dog memorial projects throughout the country. Some have since been dedicated and more are on the horizon.

Getting the US Postal Service to issue a War Dog Stamp that honors the service and sacrifice of the nation's war dogs is one of our goals.

Educating the public on what these incredible four-footed animals have done to save American lives on the battlefields of foreign Wars is always in the forefront of every effort we support or sponsor.

During every modern War, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Persian Gulf, Bosnia, Afghanistan, and Iraq, men have volunteered to serve as "Dog Handlers." The military duty of having served with a dog in War is a bonding relationship and memorable experience like no other, that lasts a lifetime.
